What to do with the taxi drivers?

Singapore is
testing the use of driverless taxis this year when a fleet will be launched to
ply the streets. If successful, more will be put on the road and they could be
a hit among the commuters.Socially and
security wise driverless taxis would be the preferred choice than walking into
a taxi driven by a stranger. And if unlucky, bad things could happen, not
talking about some rude and nasty ones.

If this
driverless taxi project is a success, where would all the taxi drivers going to
find another job?This is a new
competition and eventually driverless taxis will be replacing those driven
ones. The change could mean several thousand of taxi drivers going out of job,
or at least a majority would be out of jobs, leaving only a few diehards to
serve those that could not use mobile apps.

Are we
looking at a game changer, a new lifestyle to getting use to? Whither the last
bastion of jobs for Singaporeans? Hurry, think of more training courses for the
taxi drivers that would be looking for new jobs, or to retire for good.
Upgrading courses should be aplenty as taxi driving is not that much high skill
compares to PME’s jobs. It is not easy to design skill upgrading courses for
experienced and highly trained PMEs and to convince them that after upgrading
their skills they can look forward to a low paying job that may not pay enough
for their day to day living. For taxi drivers, any job would be a skill upgrade
and could be paying more.

With
driverless taxis, the taxi driving vocation could join the dinosaurs or the
dodo birds.

The straight times had reported taxi driver earned $7000pm. Of course, govt will also want to have taxi fleets each can fetch $7000pm. People tender for such fleet must have similar background. This part is hard liao.

Worry about taxi drivers? These people are jobless men retrenched from being replaced by Indians. Dont forget CECA was signed during GY time, free flows of Pmet are unstoppable.

Taxi drivers jobless can do cleaners jobs, security guards jobs. But security guards are almost all indians at most condos and factories. May be CECA again.

If guards cannot do, and cleaners jobs cannot do, i recommend those to do 1 job: vote for opposition. Or sit at home for life.

Instead of giving your Singaporean money to Singaporean taxi drivers to help feed a Singaporean family.We will soon be handing our Singaporean money over to nuTonomy.A start-up co-founded and led by Iagnemma and Emilio Frazzoli.

Why are Singaporeans always helping Foreigners get rich with Singaporean money?Why do we always make our own people poor?

Do you think the Singapore company offering driver-less taxis in Singapore will be 100% foreign owned?Or do you think we will have a PAP government linked company owning a 50% share in the driver-less taxi company?

I, for one would not want to put my life on the line in a driverless taxi.

You trust a computer brain?? Can react and think as fast as human brains??

Another China Ferrari driver with girlfriend at side or an unthinking immature boy trying to show off girl friends driving his father's car beat the red lights and your driverless cab brain can avoid the collision??

Driverless cars only for driving licenses tests and in factory areas not for the roads.

At give way junctions, some nuts do not know how to halt or avoid a speeding car into your path, the cab knows how to avoid the accident??

We have excuses of signals going wrong and short circuit from our SmRT breakdowns. No cock up in your driverless cabs??

Breakdown at Chua Choa Kang in the middle of a Thursday seven month night and got raped by an phantom ghost.

Our great leaders signed the Trade Agreements without blinking.Take for example the Uber and Grab Cars.

Last time in 60s, called Pak Hong Chias. Not allowed to operate.Why now?? Because the whites arm twisted their very balls.

So no choice but have to allow them to operate with the revenues siphoning off instead of to our local drivers.

You trusted these Part time drivers who are out just to subside their hefty car loans.They know all then places on sinkieland.

Even a road beaten wise cabbie does not claim to know every routes.

My two foolish childten on a trip to airport missed their flight on a Uber driver.Expressway sign shown Oil Spill on ECP and my place got many other routes to the airport and yet he took the ECP. They had to purchase another set of tickets and flew hours later.

The Driveless business is the same. Revenue will be siphon off. This is in fact a logistics business but they claimed technology.

So the stupid PAP lan lan has to approve.

Our great investors know how to capitalise the companies that are on the death throes thinking that they are smart to buy to their advantage.

Sands is the target for IsIs Rocket attack, from batam. I was surprised, they have long range rocket."Six terror suspects have been arrested in Indonesia for allegedly planning to fire a rocket from Batam in an attack on Singapore’s Marina Bay, according to Indonesian media reports.++++++++++

Rocket can be so accurate meh?Lucky we have very good policemen in Thailand and Indonesia.We only have good cardboard policemen to catch shoplifters in Singapore.
